Tube inspection

In this issue:

Introduction
Introduction
Refinery and Chemical plants can employ hundreds of heat
exchangers or condensers in a single process unit, each
Techniques having its unique process, service and damage mechanism.
Heat exchanger tubing is subjected to process chemistry
on both sides (I.D. & O.D.) such as; water, steam, or even
Why tube inspection air.
This fluid and heat transfer conditions, contributes to
either process corrosion and/or mechanical damage within
the heater exchanger such as; corrosion, thinning, pitting,
cracking, erosion, vibration or a combination of those
mentioned
 Techniques
Non-destructive testing of tubing and
surfaces relies on several techniques, which
often depend on the application and the
materials involved. By utilizing a single or
combination of the following testing
technologies, Arise Global has all the
capabilities to inspect your tubular
equipment according to your needs:
• Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR)
• Eddy current testing (ECT)
• Eddy current array (ECA)
• Tangential eddy current array (TECA™)
• Remote-field testing (RFT)
• Near-field testing (NFT)
• Near-field array (NFA)
• Magnetic flux leakage (MFL)
• Internal rotating inspection system (IRIS)
ultrasonic testing

Why Tube Inspection

• Component Reliability: Safety & Environment.
• Reliability: Reduce the Chance of Unscheduled Downtime & lost revenue.
• Predictive Maintenance: Determine Corrosion Rate/Remaining Life & Calculate
Trending.
• Failure Analysis: Provides data for prevention of future failures.
• Reliable Data: Hydro-Test is not sufficient. Bore-scope inspection can be misleading,
limited to visual examination.
